Hipp German Cow Stage 1
What is HiPP German Stage 1?
Stage 1 is a nutritionally complete first infant milk for babies from birth to around six months, used as your baby's only source of nutrition or alongside breastfeeding. It provides the energy, DHA, vitamins and minerals a newborn needs. Compared with Stage PRE, Stage 1 includes organic starch as a second carbohydrate, which makes it a little more filling — often better suited to hungrier babies.
Available formats
- Bio Combiotic (600 g powder) — enriched with prebiotics for gentle digestion.
- Pure (500 g powder) — starch-free, palm-oil-free, made with whole milk fat.
- Ready to Feed (200 ml) — pre-mixed for on the go.
Feeding guide (0–6 months)
In the first months babies feed frequently, gradually taking a little more per bottle and dropping feeds as they grow. Stage 1 is designed as the sole milk source until solids begin around six months. Always follow the feeding table on the pack for your baby's age and weight, and check with your health visitor or paediatrician if unsure.
How to prepare HiPP Stage 1
Make up each bottle fresh with previously boiled water cooled as directed, using the exact scoop-to-water ratio. Don't add extra powder, and discard anything left after a feed.
Which stage comes next?
Move on to Stage 2 from around six months. For newborns who prefer a lighter, lactose-only milk, see Stage PRE.
